To a time when we only saw the good in people, were full of hope and knew nothing but joy. Really, to get back to what it felt like to be a little kid. Ben is our Wednesday visual reminder of that. I meant it when I told Ben's mom that his presence (and hers) make Wednesdays that much better. Ben is as valuable to St. Paul's as are our elders and I am so grateful that all ages are so well represented in our congregation. willowjakmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956445534792197232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-14517351368278673522013-02-04T21:52:55.219-05:002013-02-04T21:52:55.219-05:00Ben's gurgles, coos and even squeals add to th...Ben's gurgles, coos and even squeals add to the richness of that community. The escape artists on Sunday mornings are "grace on the run". <br />Our Olivia's first book study, from the perch of her carseat or an adopted Grandma's lap, would have been have been Travelling Mercies....by the wise and authentic (and at times, potty-mouthed) Anne Lammott at our church in Winnipeg. She hasn't grown up repeating any of those words to our knowledge but she has grown up knowing she is part of a church family that loves her.<br />When asked to join a church committee as a young Mom, that committee opted to meet around my dining room table instead of the church so to include me.<br />And interestingly now, our 16 year old is asked to be part of committees...and she says yes with confidence, and delight.<br />By my experience...the proof's in the pudding!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791371242692378169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-61362772414721749772013-02-04T17:05:16.511-05:002013-02-04T17:05:16.511-05:00I was known as "the Bridge baby".

I went along in my car bed (no car seats then) and slept through the games. For years later, I as introduced as the Bridge baby when we met some of these ladies. I didn’t learn to play Bridge and I still don’t know how to. You are right if we want young families to be a part of our church family we have to make them welcome.
